I call it swallowing a square because that’s what it feels like to me.
Me too from this moment on. You’ve described it perfectly.
This is called dysphagia when it becomes a problem.
Doc told me it was related to acid reflux in my case and put me on some prescription meds.
When I eat Fries too fast and have nothing to drink nearby.
Drowning on dry land
Usually happens when you are in a rush or are not paying attention. I have that happen to me when I’m rushing out the door and decide to drink a bit of water or a coffee but want to hurry up. Then you lose any amount of time you were trying to save by standing there imagining what they will be writing on your tombstone.
If you swallow too much at once it overextends the esophagus. This causes it to spasm. That is why it hurts sometimes.
Jokes on you, I get muscle spasms all the time.
Same. Especially in my back. I end up having to lay down on the floor just to help stabilize and stretch.
Have you had your sodium levels checked?
I haven’t seen a doctor in over 10 years.
Swallow what? 😳
It’s a bird.
European or African?
Both. That’s why it’s too much.
Uh, I don’t know that

European or, African?
European, or, African?
European, or African?
PENIS
Oh good after all these years I thought it was just me that experienced this.
“I’m probably going to die”
Same feeling I get when I swallow an irregular shaped piece of food or one of those elongated multivitamin pills and the object decides to go down SIDEWAYS. You can feel it getting lodged at the back of your throat and then you feel it slowly painfully sliding down your esophagus as you start imagining who will be attending your funeral and what they will be saying for your eulogy.
I always picture a swashbuckling pirate jumping down my throat, using his knife to slow down his decent like in the cartoons when they did it to the sails on the ship. ☠️
I just start to imagine my lungs full of water

See a doctor
don’t worry it just happened to me today and I’ve overreacted a bit
Is this water in lung or what?
No, it’s more like swallowing an air bubble that’s too big.
For me there are times where I ”drink too hard”, and it leaves some nasty chest pain. Rare, but I hate when it happens.
Could be sudden gas pocket. Idk though.
Like those nuclear mantis shrimp detonations? That makes a lot of sense
Maybe? Or drinking cold water after not eating anything for a long time?
No. It’s this weird thing that sometimes if you swallow badly it really fucking hurts. Water goes to your stomach, there’s no coughing or anything. It just hurts like you swallowed your tonsils or something.
Good luck with that
I think it is hiccup muscle involved, but I’m also at the biological understanding level of an extra terrestrial
I have that sometimes! Any idea what it is?
